Indonesian Vanilla Beans

Indonesian Vanilla Beans are sweet with a unique smoky/woody flavor. The flavor is perfect for richer desserts and recipes that call for chocolate, caramel, or other deep flavors. These beans are similar to the Tahitian and Tonga vanilla beans.

Description

The current lot of Indonesian vanilla beans are very plump, pliable and moist.

"Though Indonesia produced only commodity-grade beans for years, its offerings are on the upswing. The world's second-largest vanilla exporter now delivers beans that sit between Mexico's and Madagascar's in appearance and boast a distinctly raisiny, acidic, prune-like flavor. Try putting these beans to use in chocolate-based desserts like brownies or hot cocoa. The quality of Indonesian beans varies vastly, so buy them only from a trusted source. $6 for 3 beans, beanilla.com"&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp—Elizabeth Gunnison Dunn/The Wall Street Journal

Indonesian Beans

I have to say, I think these are going to be my favorite beans ever! The smell is amazing, I took a half of a beans worth of caviar and blended it in with my brown sugar and it made a huge difference. It's a great bean, beautiful quality and I can't wait to order more of them!

I strayed..but now I'm back..

by Jacqueline on Sep 10, 2014

So I thought I'd try another company and I ordered some beans..WHAT was I thinking?? They were supposed to be premium quality beans that I can use to make vanilla sugar but they were worse than B grade. I don't even know if I can use them for extracts..so I've learned my lesson and I'm ordering some Indonesian beans..SOOO EXCITED!! I strayed..but I learned an expensive lesson and now I'm back on Team Beanilla!!

Looks Good!

by michael riley on Feb 3, 2014

good looking beans once I actually got them.

great product

by Krystal Lynch on Dec 26, 2013

I used these to make extract for Christmas gifts and they worked perfectly.

fast

by Rachel Reitano on Dec 22, 2013

Awesome product! Super fast delivery!

Good flavor and aroma

by Chris Thompson on Dec 21, 2013

Definitely a different flavor and aroma than the Madagascar beans, making for a nice contrast. Not as plump as the Madagascar beans, and several were damaged, but when used for vanilla extract, they performed just fine.

Great Beans

Wonderful vanilla at a great price

by Melanie Fisher on Nov 27, 2013

These beans do have a great smoky/chocolaty aspect. Lovely and moist- awesome find!

The perfect vanilla bean

by Angela Davis on Nov 20, 2013

This bean is my idea of the perfect vanilla bean, warm, rich and full of flavor. Close your eyes and sniff....smells like a chocolate covered raisin. Yum.

Beautiful Beans on 2nd Try

by Elizabeth Oertel on Aug 21, 2013

The first order of Indonesian beans I received smelled wonderful, but weren't quite up to snuff. I emailed and heard back almost immediately - the beans were replaced and the 2nd bunch were absolutely beautiful! Big, fat, plump, with a wonderful, pungent aroma - they've been excellent in chocolate and in sugar, coffee - really a very versatile bean.

Vacuum sealed delight

Meant for Vanilla Lovers

by Myriam Wilson on Jul 9, 2013

The quality of these vanilla beans are amazing. I wish they were cheaper just so I could get more in one purchase.

Excellent value and great product.

by Jon Ireland on Jun 8, 2013

I've used Beanilla in the past for vanilla beans and it's great. Their products are very good quality and the shipping and packaging are top notch.

Great site with great prices

by Penelope Baldwin on May 29, 2013

I ordered 25 of the Indonesian beans with the website description of " the current lot" being moist plump and pliable. The vacuum seal was loose when I received and I could not agree with the website description. After calling customer service it appears the lot may have changed and the description no longer applied. I decided to keep the beans and they do smell wonderful while making extract. After a little work I scraped the caviar into homemade ice cream that was great. Would recommend the Indonesian however not if wanting moist beans. They are about the level of the grade B.

Very moist and plump.

by Joseph Kiszka on May 20, 2013

Very moist and plump. Currently making extract with them.

AWESOME!!!

by Debra Raff-Monajati on Apr 9, 2013

I love Beanilla and have recommended this site to many people. Great quality and value :-)

What a treat to find these quality vanilla beans at wholesale prices.

seem perfect

by sadie benson on Dec 28, 2012

We started making vanilla with these beans 2 days ago. I guess we can't really judge quality of taste until that's done in a couple of months, but the beans smelled amazing!! They were good sized beans in great packaging. Arrived very quickly even though it was a kind of last minute holiday time order.

Good to very good beans

by Vassilios Avramis on Nov 26, 2012

They look good but I have not used them yet. I am sure they are O.K.

by Richard Huggins on Oct 28, 2012

These beans were an excellent value. The extract from these beans is astonishingly unique with a clear note of chocolate. I am very happy with these beans.

Very Happy

by Justine Lombardi on Oct 11, 2012

These beans are fat, moist, and smell great! We made an excellent vanilla been pudding with one last night kitchen smelled wonderful.

by Susan Houchin on Aug 6, 2012
